KAUAI NOTES..

Rev. j. M. Silver, late of Eng
land, has been visiting our island
for few days. He is the guest of
DIR. Walters. Last Sunday, services
were held IN Mrs. Rice's chapel, in
Lihue, and there was fair attend
ance. Mr.. Silver preached very
fine sermon. On Sunday evening,
the same gentleman expounded the
first chapter of Geneses to the Japa-
nese, Mr.. Tukushima, the Japanese
Commissioner, acting as interpreter.
Over thirty japanese were present.
Last night the reverend gentleman
ofliciated in Kapaa.
There was very large attendance
at the German Lutheran Church last
Sunday, 1t being the farewell ad-
dress of the pastor, Mr.. Richter.
Confirmation services were also held,
and, taken altogether, it was q
memorable occasion.
Mr.. G. M. White, of Kapaa, has
been suffering from malaria for
some time past, owing to the un-
healthy situation of his house.
The Misses Nellie and May
Waterhouse, and the Misses Corn
well and Widdefield, came to Lihue
on the Mikahala this week. The
two former are visiting Mrs. Rice,
and the latter are with Mrs. Kopke.
Mr.. w. L. Lucas, of Lihue
School, leaves to-day for Honolulu,
en- route for California and the East.

in the breeches pocket. AS to the
stripes on the back, the brains, ETC.,
we have often observed them to
have a kind of stripe down each leg,
very hungry look, and thing like
chimney-pot at one end of the body,
but which is their boots or which is
their brains no one can readily
distinguish.
One method adopted for whetting
the appetite of the colonial leech,
and rendering it more voracious, is
to cut it in two with q pair of scis-
sors, after it has been attached
few minutes. The worm, apparently
unconscious of the operation upon
its ulterior organs, continues to feed
on with unfailing appetite, and
never experiencing sensation of
fulness. In fact, it is not aware
Of the liberty taken with it until
going to bed, and wondering what
has become of its boots. 1t is to be
hoped that no curious naturalist will
attempt any philosophical expert
ments with our lceches, because, IL
he cuts them in two with n pair OF
scissors, the hungry creatures may
keep on sucking till doomsday-sucll
being, it seems, one of the remark
able failings of the leech tribe.
1t has been ascertained that q
leech is able to draw about five times
its own weight in blood. Now, the
varacious worms that have fastened
their ten-eyed lips on to the Ha-
waiian treasury, vary in weight from
one hundred to two hundred and
fifty pounds, and there is no doubt
Of their ability to draw five times
their weight in money if they are
allowed to keep at it long enough.
The writer on Australian leeches
concludes by saying "they are best
preserved in earthen jars, or in tight
wooden boxes" Perhaps it would
be a good thing for the country if
our dry land leeches were confined
in the same way, hermetically sealed,
and deported to Samoa!

HlL0 NOTES.

II. b. M. S. Caroline made Hlo
an unexpected visit, coming in on
Tuesday and departing for Honolulu
on Thursday. BY invitation of the
officers number of ladies and gen.
tlemen of Hilo went on board on
Wednesday. An inspection of her
guns left no doubt that she is meant
for business, Notwithstanding the
fact that she is wooden vessel.
The monthly social of the ladies
sewing society was held at the resi-
dencc of Mrs. 5. l.. Austin last
Tuesday evening. The large at
tendance showed that people had
confidence that they would be well
entertained, and the event proved
their confidence well founded. Hilo
is musical place, and music does a
great deal to make such occasions
enjoyable.
Hilo is to have street lamps! II
almost takes our breath away.
Since the receipt of the BULLETIN
of April 1, volcano lies have been at
q discount. 1t is to be hoped that
the men who see lava flows all
around the top of Mauna Loa and
lakes of lava at Kilauea will now
fold their tents like the Arabs ant
silently steal away.
There seems to be q prospect Of
wished for rain this morning. Oul
streets have been hot and dusty fol
some time past.

Ithas turned out, just exactly as we
expected; for did we not say in the
first paragraph of our leading article
in yesterdays issue, in reference to
our contemporaries, that it was
pretty certain they would not agree
entirely with our utterances? The

That is all right. Our usually clear

AUSTRALIAN AND HAWAIIAN
LEECHES,

"A good many years ago, a gentle
man who found pleasure and pastime
inresearches that did not interest most
people, wrote book on Australian
leeches. However valuable to
naturalists, it was not ga book for
the Million" Nevertheless, it was
reviewed and variously criticised by
all the Australian literary journals.
In turning over lot Of old papers,
the other day, we casually came
across one of these reviews. Clan.
cling over it brings back to mind
some forgotten facts, and generates
a new train Of thought.
The Australian leech is voracious
blood-sucker. There is variety of
leech quite abundant at certain sea-
sons Of the year in our taro patches,
although its blood-sucking capacity
seems rather small. But we have
another variety-a dry land variety,
with keen scent for the public
treasury-that seems to possess, in
some respects, striking resemblance
to the Australian kind. In fact, for
rapacity, our leech far surpasses all
kinds known in other countries. In
parliamentary literature it is called
Government Official" technically
"sinecurist," and vulgarly and
loosely ''bummer" and changer
on" These curious reptiles fasten
themselves on to the national money
chest, and beat the best surgeon in
the world at phlebotomy. The
Australian variety is described as
having ''ten eyes around the lips,
with digestive economy perfect, and
characterised by the keenest vora-
city, the stomach alone occupying
two-thirds of the animal.' This
agrees fully with our leech, particu-
larly in'the matter of digestion and
the size of stomach. Nothing comes
amiss but work. The description
continues, "This worm has no heart,
and no perceptible brains: its sense
of feeling is small: the color is dark
brown, with two stripes down the
back" Here again the resemblance
is apparent. The sense of feeling
OF the Hawaiian variety is only acute

HARBEAS CORPUS CASE.
THE OPIUM ACT OF 1886 IN oUEs-
TON.

In the Supreme Court yesterday
the full Court in banco gave an oral
decision in the matter of Manuel
Brito, petition for writ of habeas
corpus. The writ set forth that on
the 10th of March last he had been
illegally convicted, under section a
Of the Opium Act of 1886, of hav-
ing opium in possession contrary to
law; that he had been sentenced to
two years. Imprisonment at hard
labor and fine of 81, 900, and now
prayed for his release.
The petition was argued on March
goth, and the decision reserved.
The following is the decision as
given by the Court yesterday;
The judgment of the Court is that
no sufficient cause Is shown by
which the petitioner can be held,
and accordingly his discharge is
ordered. Opinion will be filed
later.

TRANSIENT FOOLS.

tween Australia and San Francisco,
calling here, generally have among
tfssir. passengers few of the hood
lum or larrikin class, who usually
succeed in making egregious asses
of themselves during the short period
of the steamers stay at Honolulu.
The passengers generally, whether
cabin or steerage, are quiet and
orderly. They come ashore, and
make the most of their time to see and
learn all they can of Honolulu and its
suburbs, and return to the steamer
laden with trinkets, curiosities, &c.
in exchange for which they leave be-
hind an equivalent in ready cash.
But in almost every shipload there
is half dozen or so fast young
fellows, who, being away from the
restraints of home and in a country
were they appear to consider them
selves at liberty to act as they
please, let loose the reins and run
riot over the barriers of discretion
and decorum. They come ashore
and make an Extensively ostcnta-
tious exhibition of themselves in
barrooms, in public expresses, and
on the streets. They have open
mouths, long tongues, and loud
voices, all of which combine to
advertise the emptiness Of their
heads. At home in their own coun.
try they would not dare make such
ridiculous display, for there such
conduct would not be tolerated for
one moment, and at the manifesto
tion of the first symptoms they would
be unceremoniously relegated to a
back seat. Here they seem to
think the country and the city for
the time being belongs to them, and
ignorantly imagine that because the
people are good natured enough to
tolerate Such vulgar and ungentle-
manly conduct, they are the objects
of admiring observation. They
manage to get back to the steamer
little before the time of her depar-
ture, pretty well filled up with
whiskey, with bleared eyes and
flushed faces, and bedecked with
garlands of flowers, forcibly remind
ing sane spectators of hog wearing
a jeweled necklace. Here on the
wharf and the deck of the steamer,
during the few intervening minutes
before she puts to sea, they rise to
the very acme of concentrated and
intensified folly. In this short space
of time, they succeed, with the
greatest apparent ease, as though
born to it, in making perfect, unmiti-
gated, unblushing fools of them
selves. The picture is quite familiar
to those of our readers who are in
the habit of going regularly to the
wharf to see the steamers off. These
young fools leave behind them an
unsavory reputation, for Honolulu
people are not so blind to their folly
as the fools ignorantly suppose.
